Abstract: Despite the growing literature on the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) within the last decades, the understanding of the actual human capital that characterises these industries is still limited. The need for a framework to unfold the CCIs’ human capital increases when considering their long-attributed role in knowledge spillovers, cross-fertilisation, and innovation processes in the larger economy. In this regard, the present study provides the first conceptual and empirical framework to identify and evaluate the CCIs’ skill compositions by utilising the revealed skill requirements method based on the relative skill advantage, relatedness and complexity measures. Based on this framework, essential and complementary skills for the CCIs are identified and discussed in terms of the implications for regional specialisation.
